I always considered it "famine proof." I lost 40 lbs the old fashioned way-exercise and changing the diet.
When I first began the diagnosis process in Dec. 2004, the doc put me on my current meds-Naproxen 500mg BID and Nexium 40mg to protect the tummy. I found myself going to sleep all the time but I didn't feel hungrier. I gained about 3 - 5 lbs back (not happy with that) and it started to come off again when I started the LSD.
So in a way my meds did cause me to gain some weight at the start, but now that I'm used to them I'm functioning quite well and am back on track.
I think we should start a donation site for George, where we can donate our extra pounds to George and he can take all that he would like. I'd like to start by contributing 10 lbs-any other givers out there?
